Same problem here copying 100MB from the disk to an USB key using Nautilus (drag n drop from Nautilus to Nautilus).
During the copy, the gnome desktop is mostly frozen, the copy progress bar only appears after after *minutes* and once appeared, is hardly refreshed at all before the end of the copy. During that time, the desktop is totally unresponsive. Karmic 2.6.31-15 and 16. OTOH, reading from the key writing to the disk is perfectly normal, both in term of speed and behavior of the progress bar, desktopn etc. All cache effect has being eliminated (the data copied was not already in the cache). I never saw anything comparable under Jaunty same hardware (key included). -- file transfers on USB disk are very slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
